Illinois wants you to donate your old organs!

It doesn't matter if it's your Wurlitzer or your plain old broken down pipe, Illinois took Friday the 13th as a good opportunity to try and get to your organs! On "Organ Donor Awareness Day", Illinois residents were encouraged to map out how they're going to meet the grim reaper and what to do with all the goopy, sticky stuff that's left over in the end. Watch it! The people at the DMV are real slick with trying to get you to sign the back of your license when you go to get it renewed.
